That's not good enough. I will wait until someone offers me $1,500. That's the price of a trip to the Dominican Republic, and I'm willing to wait as long as I need. :-) Then, I'll go to the resort, lie there on the beach, and think: "My blog got me here." That's my dream. :-) And then, of course, I'll blog from the beach.<br /><br />In general, I wouldn't accept any of the early offers because they will take up all the valuable spots on the blog and you'll be stuck with them for longer than you want (I heard a couple of such stories from other bloggers.) And then you won't have any good spaces for ads for people who will be willing to pay you more. So, I guess, my advice is to hold out for as long as possible.Clarissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11027134365260069910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3164556861454970487.post-3582072000251000232010-11-26T20:45:57.123-05:002010-11-26T20:45:57.123-05:00Hey thanks!

Again, goes against what many bloggers will tell you but makes sense.<br /><br />While you're on it -- what are your views on monetizing a blog? Some of us would like to do this for a living. Is it possible? Desirable? Should one have advertizing on the blog or wait for a hefty book deal to come along? :)Vinodnoreply@blogger.com
